Generally, a download manager enables downloading of large files or multiples files in one session.
Many web browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9, include a download manager.
Stand-alone download managers also are available, including the Microsoft Download Manager.

if you do not have a download manager installed, and still want to download the file(s) you've chosen, please note:

You may not be able to download multiple files at the same time.
In this case, you will have to download the files individually.
(You would have the opportunity to download individual files on the "Thank you for downloading" page after completing your download.)

Files larger than 1 GB may take much longer to download and might not download correctly.

You might not be able to pause the active downloads or resume downloads that have failed.

The Microsoft Download Manager solves these potential problems.
It gives you the ability to download multiple files at one time and download large files quickly and reliably.
It also allows you to suspend active downloads and resume downloads that have failed.

To easily assess the security state of Windows machines, Microsoft offers the free Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) scan tool. MBSA includes a graphical and command line interface that can perform local or remote scans of Microsoft Windows systems.

MBSA 2.3 builds on the previous MBSA 2.2 version that supports Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2012 and corrects minor issues reported by customers. More information on the capabilities of MBSA is available on the MBSA Web site.

The Wsusscan.cab file has grown with each new security release. Now, the number of files is approaching the maximum that can be included in a single CAB file. Microsoft is upgrading the internal format of the CAB file to resolve this issue.

All products, tools, and solutions that use the Wsusscan.cab file must be updated by March 2007 to use the new offline scan file. The existing CAB file will continue to be updated and published until March 2007. However, Microsoft will reduce the size of the existing CAB file by removing some security update content.

The wsusscn2.cab file contains metadata from the following update classifications: security updates, update rollups and service packs.

Choose the appropriate download below for English (EN), German (DE), French (FR) and Japanese (JA) for x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) platforms.

More detailed system requirements are outlined in the main help and readme.html file that is included in the tool. More information is also available at the MBSA Web site.

Please make sure you are running the latest Build (2.3.2211) of MBSA 2.3 that we released early January 2015. You can check the build number from the ‘About Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer’ section. We recommend reinstalling using the MBSA 2.3 updated build if your build is older than 2.3.221.

Note:Please view the readme.html file before running MBSA the first time. The readme.html file contains important information on system requirements, scan options, and tool support options.
